Oklahoma Regionals Preview: 17s to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>OKRVA hosts the Oklahoma Regional Tournament this weekend in Tulsa. While several teams are gunning for National Bids, three teams have already qualified in the 17 age groups. [program_tooltip program_id='432025' first='OK' last='Charge'] 17 UA has qualified for a 17 Open bid at Nationals. Their Tulsa counterpart has qualified for the 17 USA division, and Rise Volleyball is headed to the 17 Liberty division. I expect PEAK, UPVBC, and TPV to show up this weekend and make a solid run for a bid. These are the athletes that make a big impact on some of the best teams in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Register now for the summer Prep Dig STOCK UP Showcase.

Offensively, she earns kills at the pins, attacks overpasses quickly, and stays a selective back row option that throws blockers off tempo. PEAK will be fighting for a bid this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["782334"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69f0c43152839"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='782334' first='Kyia' last='Wade'] will be working toward a bid with her team, [program_tooltip program_id='776295' first='Tulsa' last='Power'] 17-1.
